Latest Gossip: Gossip Girl Meester Has Nude Pics in Her Past That Some Web Sites Want to Buy SFGate.com

Leighton Meester, who plays Blair Waldorf on the CW's "Gossip Girl,"  is at the center of a sex tape scandal, reports SFGate.com, the online sibling of Hearst's San Francisco Chronicle.

The report says some stills from a movie Meester made with a boyfriend have surfaced. TMZ, the report says, called the video and stills "mostly innocuous" nude scenes. The report says celebhotline.com, among other sites, might be interested in purchasing the video.

At some point in their careers a number of TV and movie actresses seem to have problems with nude pictures of themselves shot consensually in private surfacing publicly and embarrassing them. 

Perhaps the solution would be not to pose for these pictures or videos if one thinks one might wish to pursue a career that could put one in the public spotlight.
